3 Phase Resistance Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the unknown parameter in a three-phase electrical system.
R = V / (\sqrt{3} \times I)- Where R is the phase resistance (Ω)
- V is the line-to-line voltage (V)
- I is the line current (A)
To calculate the phase resistance, divide the line-to-line voltage by the product of the square root of 3 and the line current.
What is a 3 Phase Resistance Calculator?
Definition:
A 3 Phase Resistance Calculator is a tool used in balanced three-phase electrical systems to determine one missing parameter—line-to-line voltage, line current, or phase resistance—when the other two values are known. It is essential for ensuring accurate measurements and safe operation.
How to Calculate 3 Phase Resistance?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the phase resistance when the line-to-line voltage and line current are known.
First, determine the line-to-line voltage. In this example, the voltage is 400 V.
Next, determine the line current. In this example, the current is 10 A.
Finally, calculate the phase resistance using the formula above:
R = V / (√3 × I)
Substitute the values to obtain R = 400 / (√3 × 10)
Thus, R ≈ 23.09 Ω
